ID: induction-of-the-planar-square-representation-to-the-symmetric-group-on-four-letters

Embed the order-eight dihedral group as in the symmetric group , and let be its two-dimensional complex representation obtained from its square action. Let be the three-dimensional complex representation from the rotational symmetry group of a cube. In the class order , the induced character is : only the identity and the square's half-turn have nonzero character values. This equals the character of , since . Characters distinguish finite-dimensional complex semisimple representations, giving the displayed isomorphism. Its trivial character multiplicity is .
